Notes

All Ikelite strobe arm components are 1.25".

The Sea&Sea Motor Marine 3T Macro Lens framer uses two vertical bars that screw into the framer's base (to define the left and right FOV sides). The threads on the vertical bars are stripped. You can still use the framer's base and visualize the vertical limites fairly easily, but I've discounted the macro lens quite a bit since it isn't in perfect condition.

The clear plastic surface on the Mini-Cs, directly in-front of the light, shows minor crackling. This is the result of some use and is to be expected. The Mini-Cs include a loop of bungee that can be used to secure some diffusion material. I have extra, so I can throw in a square of diffusion material with the flashlights. I also have plenty of brand new spare o-rings I can part with for 50% off.

The DS-50 substrobe has a layer of silicon sealed cork glued to it. It works great to offset some of the strobe-arm weight. The battery compartment (4 x AA) has some discoloration on it's bottom. It's purely cosmetic and the flash works as new. I've dropped the price a little to compensate. The reason for the discoloration is that I put the flash underwater without closing the battery compartment properly (Doh!). The battery compartment is completely sealed, so after changing the batteries and a little cleaning, it was back to normal. -sold

There are small signs of use on the Sea&Sea 16mm Wide Conversion Lens - specifically 3-4 minor scratches on and near the yellow f-stop label. One of the plastic caps also has a bungie loop threaded through it. This was used to keep the lens cap secured when attached to a lens caddy. -sold

I bought the DS-50 and manual controller, and Jean-Sebastian was a pleasure to deal with. He promptly answered my emails, was very fast in shipping. Overall I am very happy with the transaction. Thanks

I am interested in the MPK-P5. Is it still available?

Thanx,

Posted by on March 08, 2006 at 04:38 PM

Yes, I still have an MPK-P5 with spare o-rings - I'll contact you by e-mail.

Posted by on March 31, 2006 at 01:37 PM

FYI - I've lost the spare MPK-P5 o-rings I had somewhere. The housing is pretty much useless without them, so I've withdrawn it from the list.

Jean, thank you for your great communication, advice and prompt shipment of the Ikelite components I purchased from you. They are in fantastic condition, exceeding all my expectations.

Again Thanks!
